Spiedies, have you ever heard of them? I never had until I bought an America's Test Kitchen Best of 2010 magazine issue. According to the magazine, they are upstate New York's best kept secret. They are so easy to make, you won't believe and they pack so much flavor in each bite.
I guess these sandwiches are served with the sauce and served plain. My husband doesn't like sauces so he eats them out without and adds provolone cheese, lettuce and tomato. He loves these sandwiches. I have even had the grilled chicken (not on a sandwich) but with couscous complete with the sauce.
This dish is in my top 10 list right now. Hope you enjoy them! If you make them, I'll bet they will rank high on your list too!
